I had no idea the ST4 and the Monster S4 were essentially the same bike. So the idea just popped into my head - has anyone ever stripped the front fairings off and replaced them with a Monster headlamp and instrument subframe? While it would strip away much of the essence of the ST4, the Monsters have always been beautiful, one could keep the panniers, and it would shed a whole ton of weight - the difference in weight between the two bikes is nearly 50lbs, and much of that I'll bet is in the full fairings.
But then again, in terms of weight distribution, that's about the last place I'd want to remove weight from (the front)...
